“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.”
–Proverbs 29:25

“And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”
–Luke 12:4-5

A healthy fear of the LORD is essential for effective end times preparation.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.”
–Proverbs 9:10

“In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge.”
–Proverbs 14:26

“The fear of the LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death.”
–Proverbs 14:27

“Better is little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith.”
–Proverbs 15:16

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
–Proverbs 1:7

“It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.”
–Psalm 118:8

“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes”
–Proverbs 12:15

“Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.”
–Jeremiah 17:5

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.”
–Jeremiah 17:7

“O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.”
–Psalm 34:8

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the LORD his God:”
–Psalm 146:3-5

7- LISTEN TO GOD, NOT YOURSELF

“There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.”
–Proverbs 16:25

8- SEPARATE FROM THE WORLD

This is not flashy ascetic denial. This action involves loosening oneself from the entanglements of this world.

“Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.”
–Galatians 5:1

“No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon [money].”
–Matthew 6:24

Effective spiritual preparation REQUIRES separation from the things of this world. This usually will take a little time, so it’s important to start this as soon as possible.

IF separating from the things of this world is not possible, the reader needs to re-examine his beliefs.

Get a King James Version. They are harder to find and are sometimes more expensive. The KJV has mistakes, but the mistakes are the exception rather than the rule. The reason a person is commanded to study is because God’s Word falls into the hands of mortal, many times wicked, men.

The newer versions are very much corrupted and in many cases, omit entire portions and words, as well as change the meaning to contradict God’s Word.

In too many cases, the words of man have been substituted for the words of God.

Some versions are almost completely useless.

“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.”
–Psalm 119:111

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
–2Timothy 2:15

“These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.”
–Acts 17:11

Persecution, trials, tribulation and affliction are reasons for the believer to celebrate.

Suffering for Jesus is temporary; the rewards for those who do suffer in His name are eternal.

Some persecution will be easily noticeable: many of those considered “friends” by the reader will disappear; family members who once engaged in conversations suddenly become busy; meetings in public become shorter and more perfunctory; one’s social circle becomes unresponsive and unsocial.

Other forms of persecution will perhaps pass more or less unnoticed: job opportunities dry up or diminish considerably; the reader may find himself stumbling onto more hushed conversations which suddenly cease when he enters a room; for some reason, the reader is spending much more time with himself.

This second group is much harder to detail because they are many times successfully hidden from the reader.

“But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”
—John 20:31

THE GOSPEL

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
